Mike, from this second post of your original problem and Jeff giving you the same advice as I did the first time, I would deduct that you're either not helping yourself, or this maybe a little beyond you. Let me give you another suggestion. Get an external serial 56K modem from a reputable manufacturer. All your problems will magically dissappear. As described before - it seems your modem is (in the words of another poster 'a brain-dead modem'), a softmodem. Softmodems have no hardware in them that traditional modems do. They can do NOTHING without special software on the operating system, that mimicks the hardware that they lack. Softmodems require a lot more CPU processing power, in that they specifically need to emulate true hardware. Also, in my experience (please guys - no flames - I did say in my years of experience that these modems have existed), I find them slower and a lot less reliable than a hardware modem. They are fine for web browsing with a decent CPU, but trying to play on-line CPU intensive games is truly a joke. Get a 'real' modem if you can afford it. I'm not even sure whether a Linux driver exists for the modem you do have.
